Popis: The study describes an analytical model of laser beam scattering on an inhomogeneous ensemble of erythrocytes. The model takes into account erythrocyte variation in size, shape, and spatial orientation. A relationship is established between an experimentally determined parameter: visibility of the diffraction pattern, and a characteristic serving as a measure of inhomogeneity of erythrocyte size and shape in a blood specimen. This relationship is shown to be monotonous, which means that erythrocyte variation in size and shape can be assessed based on measurements of the diffraction pattern visibility.
